Laure Cinti-Damoreau was a French soprano opera singer.

She was born Laure-Cinthie Montalant in Paris and went on to study both voice and piano at the Paris Conservatory, where Angelica Catalani was one of her singing teachers. She made her professional debut in 1816 at the Théâtre-Italien in Vincente Martin y Soler's opera Una cosa rara. Whilst there she devised her stage name Cinti by Italianizing her middle name. After enjoying a successful career, particularly as the leading lady in many Rossini operas, she returned to the Paris Conservatory where she taught as a professor from 1833-1856. Whilst there she published a Méthode de chant still available today as the Classic Bel Canto Technique.
